The video, titled 'The Faces of Solomon', features photos and clips of the real-life Solomon Northup's great-grandchildren.

The release of the two-minute montage marks the anniversary of Northup - a free black man from New York who was abducted and sold into slavery in the antebellum United States - regaining his freedom on January 3, 1853.

It also serves as a reminder of the continuing relevance of Northup's story and its legacy.
